"4-speed electronically controlled automatic overdrive transmission with intelligence (ECT-i) and Snow Mode "
so says toyota's website for new highlander. i'm assuming it's just like you say - it controls the acceleration so it's easier to get going, slow down, etc. it probably also includes stability control.
all i know for sure is that it definitely made a difference and helped me this past weekend in n. jersey when we got hit with 18 in. of snow.....
